A gunman who killed five people and wounded several police officers at a warehouse near Chicago opened fire as he was being fired by the company, authorities say.
Police named the killer as 45-year-old Gary Martin, who had worked at the Henry Pratt manufacturing company in Aurora, Illinois for 15 years.
He was shot dead by officers following his deadly rampage after police responded to reports of an 'active shooter' at about 2pm local time on Friday.
Aurora police chief Kristen Ziman said Martin was armed with a handgun but it was not yet clear whether he was carrying the weapon at the time he was being fired or whether he went to retrieve it before opening fire.
